This is the second time we have stayed at Shenanigans. We had a great time! The cargo lift was a definite plus. The hot tub is nice, but takes up a lot of space on the deck. We have stayed at Flamingo, and Serenity, twice. We will be back.

Shenanigans is Awesome

Shenanigans is a great house for a beach vacation. It has direct beach access, lots of decks and a large, covered area downstairs. With 5 bedrooms there is plenty of room for a large party. One of the best aspects of this house is the second refrigerator, which gives plenty of space for food and beverage storage. Everyone in our party absolutely loves Shenanigans.

Great house & great location

This is the second time we've stayed here and love it. The house is very spacious and clean. The location couldn't be any closer to the beach. The two separate living areas is nice, and the second refrigerator is a huge plus. We would stay here again!

Beautiful place & location! Check in was frustrating several key codes wouldn’t work. The key in the lock box wouldn’t work on the door. The lift was messed up and ended up having a maintenance guy come out said he had to order a part. Little problem with love bugs in one of the bedsrooms they came out cleaned everything up and put on fresh sheets. We would stay again there was 9 of us and had a blast!!
